After The Fall

Time...time just seems to pass you by,
Where...where's forgiveness for the crime?
Sin has got you bound, compassion can't be found,
Where's the love you've heard?
It's just a cheapened word, so where are you to go?

After the fall, here come the stones,
After the fall you stand there, all alone,
After the fall, after the fall, oh.

Oh, and they...they've overlooked your humanness,
Life...life just seems so meaningless,
It's driving you insane as you're feeling all the shame,
If they only knew your heart,
Repentance on your part, but no one seems to care.

After the fall, here come the stones,
After the fall you stand there, all alone,
After the fall, after the fall.

God's so faithful to pardon, but his children won't forgive,
As you reach for his redemption they can't forget the fall,
No, they can't forgive the fall.

Oh, after the fall, here come...here come the stones,
After the fall.

When the deed's been done and you need someone, and there's no place you can hide,
When the stones come down compassion can't be found, so you keep it all inside,
After the fall, after the fall,
After the fall, after the fall.
